Yeah we're all waiting on Jim....

 

well if it means anything, hes waiting on me for something lol

 

He's probably waiting on something from me too! ump

 

Jim is waiting on me too

 

he must be doing this as punishment for us three then lol

 

Haha! We all know I want #1. Thanks Dave.

 

Number two just showed up and looks great Dave

 

Looks good on that board James. :cool1

 

What's in store for the first job James?

 

I dont know, I have until tomorrow to figure it out though lol

 

Some lucky guy is getting this as a birthday gift from his wife! Scott!

This sujihiki is a 270mm in O1 with a hidden tang western handle done in a premium koa (from Burl Source), buffalo horn bolster, with nickel silver accents.

Man 'o Man did I have a hell of a time capturing this one in pictures. Over exposed, out of focus, washed out, too dark and everything else that can happen did. As is the norm with koa it's something that you have to see in person to appreciate, this handle is no different in that regard, it's AWESOME in person though. Here's the best I could get....

 

BEAUTIFUL!

 

Stunning job David.
Bravo.

 

You guys are just easy to impress.

 

Did you know that you can order a Martell knife without a handle? Well you can!

Save yourself some $$$ and do it yourself or maybe take the saved $$$ and send it along to one of your favorite handle makers for a truly special one of a kind knife. Tang configuration can be had in either western full tang or hidden (as seen below). Either way the option is there for you.


This Martell handle-less gyuto is headed over to Sweden to get it's handle installed. Maybe some you know this guy named Dan who does handles over there?

 

Who??? ump :cool1

 

Martell 240mm gyuto with dyed maple burl and buffalo horn handle....

 

Martell 189mm Nakiri with amboyna burl and blond buffalo horn handle....

 

240mm Martell wa gyuto...


Steel - O1 @ Rc 60-61

Handle - modified oval in premium koa and buffalo horn with nickel silver spacers


The customer went with a handle upgrade and selected some premium koa that we picked up from Burl Source. It's magnificent yet once again it doesn't show up in my pictures. I'm pretty sure, however, that the customer will be happy with it in person.


*Note - I shot the pictures outside with clouds rolling in and out, this shows in the brightness variations.

 

That's one very elegant knife, Dave! Congratulations to the customer!
